And oh my, this is not always exciting. Most especially when you discover that the requirements (tools) as they want is incomplete at your disposal.
So, for you to avoid any kind of embarrassment as a beginner, we want to, first of all, solve that.
The Essence Of Doing This?
Well, it is very simple.
We are looking at a situation wherefore if you are asked any vital document on the ground of verification or authentication you are forearmed.
List Of Cryptocurrency Tools You Need To Get Started In Africa, America, And United Kingdom
#1. Photo ID — International Passport, Driver license.
One of the most important Cryptocurrency Verification Tools you need is a photo ID.
Here, the best photo ID I think you should work with is an International Passport.
And if you do not have, then a Driver’s License is a best fit second choice.
So, if you know how to go about getting any of the two, you can go on to getting it ready.
#2. Residential Address Proof
In one of your verification requirements, you might/will be asked to provide a residential address proof.
What to do is provide an electricity bill or water billing address and you will just be fine.
So, get it ready.
#3. Selfie with Your Photo ID
Yeah, it might be awkward but it is needed.
Still, in one of your verification requirements, you will/might be asked to provide a selfie with your Photo ID.
So, what to do now is hold a photo ID of you and take a selfie.
#4. Hackers Password
It is very common to see funny passwords everywhere.
In Cryptocurrency dynasty, you need a man-enough password to fight against possible intrusion into your accounts.
What that means is, you will need to create a strong password.
#5. Email Address
I guess you already know you will need an email address.
Well, my main aim is not the email address per say but using a separate email address from your normal address.
This is what I mean.
If you want to be a complete crypto dude, create another email for crypto purposes.
And if you ask me, a Proton email account is the best.
Proton email account? — Search for it on Google.
#6. Google Authenticator
Very useful.
To get your account secure, you will be asked to use a Google Authenticator tool.
So, do yourself the good and install it from Apple store or the Android Playstore.
Also, be careful not to lose your mobile Authenticator phone else, just get a $50 phone solely for Authenticator purpose.
#7. SSN
They may not really need your social security number for now but I think, if your aim is to do real business with Bitcoins amounting to 50 BTC, then, you might need an SSN.
According to Wikipedia, in the United States, a Social Security number (SSN) is a nine-digit number issued to U.S. citizens, permanent residents, and temporary (working) residents.
This is contained under section 205(c)(2) of the Social Security Act, codified as 42 U.S.C. § 405(c)(2).
So, if you have a plan about it, get your SSN ready beforehand.
#8. Signed Application Form and KYC Documents
Like SSN, if you are going for a high profile crypto transaction, then, you might be asked to provide a signed application form and KYC documents.
This type of verification is for a logical crypto account wherefore transaction might be running in 100 BTC lesser or more.
#9. Simple Bitcoin Wallet Account
To complement your requirement as a crypto guy, you might need to get a simple and free Bitcoin account where you can always send and receive basic cryptos; maybe for easy/free crypto earning options.
As a recommendation, we work with a few exchanges, so we recommend you get a Bitcoin account at Coinbase.
At Coinbase, it is simple to get started.
Get a Simple Bitcoin Account at Coinbase
You know,
As a beginner, you will need to learn how to copy and paste Bitcoin and other crypto address.
So, what you can do now is going to your new Coinbase account, log in and play with it.
